KNOCKED OUr BY MINISTER

TELLS INVESTORS IT CANNOT PAY CLAIMS
Omaha Clenryman, ald to De a
Victim, la Credited with
Closing Oat the
Concern.
TJpwb has reached this city that an
Omaha minister hint cuuHtd the closing; of
an alleged get-rlch-iui k concern In Chi
cago. It ia aaJd he put In money and then
wont to Chicago for the purpose of calling
on the firm after becoming suspicious that
the money which he hud Invested in the
enterprise would not be returned to him.
The name of the concern which, It Is said,
has quit business Is Isbell & Co., which for
a time was represented In Omaha by
former CJty Comptroller John N. Westberg,
with an office in the Karbach block. Ac
cording to the story which reaches this
city the Omaha minister lost about $5,000
In the transaction.
The cenre-n, t is said, opened an office
In Pea Moines where C. K. Mead was
placed In charge. Several people in that
city made deposits with the firm through
their agent, Mr. Mead, and dividends were
returned to them ranging from 2 percent
to 10 percent per week. It was represented
that the money was to be ued In dealing
on tho boari. of trade In Chicago and that
all dividends earned In this manner were
to be proportk-ned among the depositors
with tho concern. The literature of the
firm, so the report says, asserted that tho
plan of Investment would be a sure winner.
Reports reaching Omaha state that the
firm was doing a rushing business here
and that about $20,000 was invested with it
by Omaha people, among which was the
preacher who caused the flrm to quit busi
ness. The minister, it is said, became sus
picious that all was not right and went to
Chicago te make an Investigation. When
he arrived there the oltlces of the company
were found to be closed and the members
of the firm had disappeared.
Not Able to Far Dividends.
A few days ago word was sent out to
Investors that owing to unfortunate deals
the conoern would not be able to pay the
usual dividends, but that It had an Inside
on September corn which It was believed
would enable It to repay them on coming
deals. This circular. It Is said. Is what
made the Omaha minister suspicious.
Mr. Westberg, when seen regarding the
reports, sold:
"My attention was called to the firm
about the first of January this year and 1
was requested to act as Its agent In thla
city. I did not take the agency for about
a month afterwords. Before going Into the
business I mode a trip to Chicago and
visited the offices of the company. Every
thing looked all right there and I con
cluded to act as manager for the con
cern In this state. I never did any business
to speak of for the firm and do not think
its business ever amounted to much. At
least I never heard of much business being
transacted by Omaha people. I am sure
that very little business passed through
my office. In fact, there was but one small
deal that I had any knowledge of and that
Involved about $300 which was made up
by a few Omaha men who wished to try
their luck. The dividends on this Invest
ment came regularly and amounted to from
1H to 3 per cent per week. No money was
lost In this transaction.
"About three weeks ago when the Sep
tember com circular was sent out I con
cluded that I would sever my connection
with the firm and so Informed It. An ef
fort waa made to grot ma to continue with
them, but I had made up my mind that I
did not wish to go any further in the mat
ter, and had the sign scraped off the win
dows of my office. The principal reason
why I went' Into the business was that I
had nothing special to do and waa looking
for something. It occurred to me that
there might be something In the burtnesa
and I went into it more to give it a trial
than for any other reason. Mr. Mead, the
Dee Moines manager, was here to see me
once. I know nothing of that preaoher
feature of It."
POPULARITY AND BUSINESS
Former la First Essential to Snoceaa
, of Latter, Despite Con
trary Views.
,
The first principle of business success
la popularity. Borne business men may
dispute thla assertion and Insist that If
you handle good goods and properly ar
range the prices, and If In a good location,
you will necessarily succeed. This la not
true, however, as a little reflection will
show.
You often meet business men who are
handling a staple line and are competing
In prices In a favorable location, but
you will sometimes notice that they are
not doing the business.
An. Inquiry as to how business Is will
often elicit answers from these men such
as the following: "Oh, the town Is on
the 'bum;' " "The weather Is bad;" "Did
you ever see such hard tlmeBT" "No one
earns to be buying- anything;" "Money Is
so scarce," or some such an answer of a
pessimistic nature.
Now, tf you stop to analyse the situation
as concerning this particular business man,
one of the first important things you will
discover Is that he Is not popular. He
doesn't believe In catering to tho public.
The public must cater to him. Therefore,
he doesn't do the business. Tcrhups Just
cross the street, or posnlbly around the
corner, you will find a business mun who
may not be as well located, but he Is doing
the business. lie Is optimistic. Every
, thing is first-class. The weather is all
right. Times ore good. Money Is plentiful
and the town Is at the head of the list
In his estimation. You will notice that he
ia popular. He uses HE 12 WANT AU8.
